The screenshot really should have a cat photo on it.

Looks great! GL!

Cant know until we try!

I wish meshtastic did any of that. Its more like a worse pager. Fun hobby to get into but its not all that great at reliable packets.

I have some friends that are thinking of investing into some HiLow systems and making our own intranet. Or a meshnet. Seems like a fun project.

And no random bot scans, no agencies, no nothing but our own sites.

Windows has better accessability features than linux does. Itsn ot talked about much but ive been in meetings with people with disabilities, survivors of accidents, etc… and Windows is the only real option. If you are blind there are standard programs that they use.

Its the one area i think linux could use real work. A couple of places ive put in pull requests to help out from time to time.

Otherwise linux is generally better ;)

I wonder if someone is trying out an AI or something and seeing the results. Then deleting. More evidence will pop up eventually.

It sticks around in other software just FYI. Maybe lemmy should have something that admins can do? Maybe something super admins can re-instate if a mod states should be un-deleted? I dunno.

We have west nile and many others. Its very bad. Theres a metric ton of them bugs here.

This reminds me of bitcoin so much. At first there was a rush for cpu then gpu then specific miners. Then specialty hardware. We are here now. So silly.

thats some bull

Ive seen this many MANY times. But I think people forget that most open source are passion projects.

You are owed nothing at all when someone publishes their code on the internet. Thats what it is, its just an instruction manual to do a thing. Unless you pay something for the privilege of support, complaints will do next to nothing. Even now on lemmy/piefed/fedi.

I would love to have https://joinbookwyrm.com/ capability. That would be fun. You finish a book, and bookwyrm would auto tell you were finished. Give users the option to post about it.

By preference (at least for me):

1. Buy outright (AKA online stores like https://www.baen.com/). No DRM ebooks are great.
2. Buy from authors website or sometimes patreon.
3. Calibre + digital library download. My local library has an app, and you can just get the book and then sideload.
4. Yoho if I cant find it elsewhere.

I try really hard to give authors money in some way…but sometimes Yoho is all you got if they have an amazon exclusive contract.

Its been 14+ years with this combo and I cant say I have ever had issues getting books.

Found them! https://mastodon.social/@mntmn

Lots of open hardware here https://shop.mntre.com/products/mnt-reform

They are on the fediverse if i recall.

Essentailly. Theres a couple of peertube instances that had that issue if i recall. Filters started to go up a coupke of years ago. Admins can see it pretty easy in the logs most of the time once its pointed out. Its a timing thing. Some software is beyter at it than others.

Same fantastic one liners.

Good questions. Its been a bit since ive looked at lemmys code so im going to dive in again.

Here is the docs for the votes themselves. https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-docs/blob/main/src/users/03-votes-and-ranking.md

You can see this in action here: https://lemvotes.org/ if I recall.

I know the vote model is here . You can see the logic here. It checks to see if the post is actually available in the community with other functions and other such checks. It doesnt ask any lemmy instance for totals (unless theres something im not aware of), it tallies based on real time data. Which can also include fediverse actions(not necessarily lemmy/piefed/mbin/etc… but also mastodon, gotosocial, and other such services).

One of the things piefed does a bit differently is it bunches up votes for sending to other instances. And there is a backfill operation when puling from new communities or users. I would argue its a bit better than lemmys system at least from a technical perspective. But its a VERY minor one. Its nice we have multiple ways of getting to the same result-ish.

Hope that helps! I dont know everything but I know a little bit.

It would be VERY difficult. I have no idea what im looking for other than the delay or block. And im not seeing anything today. If you can give me an example, I can check in and reproduce. Otherwise its nettle/haystack.

It might very well be a bug.

I can see it being frustrating. But thats what community software is. The good news is that even just reporting the issue can help us all out!

Yep i can. Ive helped out on both lemmy, piefed, mastodon, gotosocial, peertube and others. Little things mind but yeah its my day job.

Theres a queue that is part of different instances. What can happen is posts/comments get backed up and the queue takes them all in. When an outage or slowdown happens it can bog down certain servers. Threadiverse (piefes/lemmy/mbin/etc…) up/down votes, comments, posts, etc… it gets slower as more instances connect to others. Its unfortunate but its part of the fediverse protocol. Piefed has some advances there, but it can still get bogged down sometimes.

Im not saying thats definitively what it is, but ive been on the other side of this phenomenon a couple of times when my lemmy and then later piefed instance had a new instance sync with it. Lemmy.world has had this issue for a while since its one of the biggest.

The way to test is to sent the instance in quesion a POST request with a comment OR use a known good instance (like piefed) and check the logs. It usually comes back with either a 200 immediately (which is good) or theres a HUGE delay.

Most of these instances are very much volunteer efforts.
